Look North 1970s

Frank Mellor was the Lake District correspondent and Tony Gubba was Liverpool reporter. Other reporters were Nick Clark (went on to Radio 4’s PM) and Paul Burden (business). Ian Masters was the presentation announcer. The programme was produced from Studio N in Broadcasting House, which was above Barclays Bank in Piccadilly.
